Arkansas Truck Parking Study Data
Arkansas truck parking data for stronger DOT proposals
Get verified inventory, shortage screening, corridor context, and proposal-ready outputs without rebuilding the analysis from scratch.
Why it matters: Better parking evidence makes unmet demand and investment priorities easier to defend.

Over-capacity is the norm
State freight planning material reports frequent excess demand at both public and private facilities, tied to Hours of Service compliance and roadside safety risk. Pressure concentrates around Little Rock and the primary east-west freight route.
Small facilities dominate the inventory
- More than 57% of locations have 15 or fewer truck spaces.
- About 22% have five or fewer spaces.
- Paid facilities average approximately $13.80 per night.
Grid screening across approximately 1,552 hexagons:
- 91 shortage grids: peak utilization exceeds 90%.
- 150 demand grids: modeled demand exists without an official parking location.
Why this matters in a competitive DOT proposal
Typical approach
- Unscreened facility lists
- No distinction between usable and incidental parking
- Weak connection to the proposal narrative
- Limited support for investment prioritization

Reality check
Counts differ across sources because inclusion rules differ. Public totals and Trucking Lab numbers are complementary — one gives statewide context, the other gives usable supply.
Common questions
How many truck parking spaces are in Arkansas?
Trucking Lab includes 6,596 private truck parking spaces across 213 locations and 650 public spaces across 27 locations.
Is truck parking pressure a problem in Arkansas?
Yes. Arkansas freight planning material indicates that both public and private facilities frequently run over capacity, creating operational, Hours of Service, and safety concerns.
Where is pressure concentrated?
State hotspot mapping shows pressure along the major interstate freight corridors, particularly around Little Rock and the primary east-west route.
Why do truck parking counts differ across sources?
Counts differ because datasets apply different facility definitions and inclusion rules. Public totals provide statewide context, while Trucking Lab numbers focus on usable parking supply.
